Message: <blockquote data-quote="hong" data-source="post: 4747925" data-attributes="member: 537">Maybe they do. Maybe they're just as uncommon as mage schools.The point of the intro is to emphasise that arcane schools are rare, not that they don't exist. If they didn't exist, then the rest of the article would be pretty pointless, yes? And if you read further down, the White Lotus school has been around for 143 years, so it's quite possible for a school to be long-lived.- This fits into the PoL philosophy of having centers of civilisation being few and far between.- It makes the school something unique and memorable within the setting, instead of being just another random guild among dozens of other guilds.As for Harry Potter... I actually get as much of a Shaolin vibe from this article. From the name ("Lotus?" As in anti-BLACK Lotus, AMIRITE?) to the illo (two <s>baseball d00ds</s> jedi), you can run it as monastic arcane warriors-in-training.</blockquote>
